My Life the Past Couple of Months

So I finally decided to update my blog because I was getting frustrated that every time I checked if any one else had blogged lately... there was nothing. So I guess it's only fair to blog...I can't expect everybody else to do the blogging.

To start... we have built a greenhouse. Square foot gardening. I finally got pictures to post of the greenhouse.














(This is before the blasted snow came!)


Pretty exciting stuff. It's taken a lot of man-hours trying to get this thing up and running. Let's wish it the best of luck!
But it's a car port with thick MIL plastic over it, twice. Helps with the insulation, apparently.

















Here's Jason. The greenhouse doesn't have all the poles in it for height. Do it's a little short for Jason, but perfect for me.































Here's the lovely tomatoes. They're looking good here, but it looks like I still have a little more to learn before I get my green thumb. Let's just say we won't be having tomatoes this winter.


Next item of business. After camp this year, Jason and I totally scored with getting a lot of cheap camp food. Cereal. Canned foods. And MEAT. We got 2 tubes of ground turkey (10 lbs each). It was all fine and dandy. We stuck them in the freezer and we were very excited about our purchases. But then it came time to use the meat... a 10 lb tube of rock hard, frozen meat. We had no idea of how to tackle this problem. We didn't want to use all 10 lbs at once so this was Jason's idea...














(please note the oven mitt... that's my favorite part...no frost bite here!)


We got our scariest, biggest, most serrated knife we had and went at it! I think this is how he got all his muscles :)















Look at the determination in his face. Such focus.















It was pretty funny. I'm just glad it worked out. And the knife is just fine.


So Jason woke up the other day and his hair made me realize he needed a haircut. I doubt anyone would disagree with me.































So we took care of the problem...sorry, no before and after pictures for this one.















He didn't really enjoy me using the squirt bottle on him.


Well... that's all for now. I have no other exciting photos, extravagant tales to tell, or really any lies that I could pretend that were true. But I'll can't promise I'll do better at writing on my blog, but I guess if people don't update their blogs I'll eventually get to mine. Until then.
